I edited this, because i was in ahurry earlier, let me explain God being all good and all knowing once again.
God is all good.
First God created everything to be good, in Genesis, it is written "And God saw that it was good". Evrything was good, and then God formed man out of the earth (whether it took millions of years, it doesnt matter). Everything was created first, trees, plants, animals, and lastly Adam and Eve.
Now Adam and Eve are formed with freewill and high intelligence with judgment, not formed as robots who lives by instinct intelligence. God gave them "freewill", what is the result of this freewill? Good and evil deeds, not just evil, but good as well.
And if you say "If God is all good, then why dont he stop the guy from raping a young girl instead of allowing it"{.
Now if God is all good, then it means he is honest and true to His words. He gave u freewill, now if God stops u from doing good or doing evil, then he is taking that freewill back and breaking his promise. GOD IS NOT A LIAR AND THE BIBLE IS NOT SELF CONTRADICTORY, IT ON LY IS BECAUSE U TAKE THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT. He gave you freewill, and to stop you from doing what you want to do means you are not free, God might have as well created you as robots or plants if thats what you want.
People always make a parable saying "Well if u hand over a gun to a kid, you are solely responisble for the kid commiting murder" and use that analogy about God, atheist always take things out of context. The truth is yes that father may have a gun in his house, but he also have safetylocks, he also provide forgiveness, repentance, other options such as a starving neighbor or a crippled man u can spend time with to help out.. So it is your choice whether to look for the safety lock and get a gun and kill someone or u can help yur starving neighors.
Again God is all good, he did not create EVIL, HE CREATED FREEWILL AND JUDGMENT, now that Judgment was used BY US to do evil, just as any gifts can b abused and used improperly. The parable of father and son is true, the father does have responsibility for the brainless child, but we are not a child but are adults and should know what right froom wrong, WE ARE NOT A RETARD, and a father who gives a gun to a child but not a bread is evil, thats not Jesus. The bible says "As your fathers were so will u be", we have freewill. It is true that we pay consequences for our parents fault because we are free. Take pornographic for example, someone started playboy,, then from there hustler then video porns, etc. Or weapons, etc. BUT DID GOD DO THESE? NO! DID GOD CREATE WOMAN TO BE USED AND ABUSED? NO, WHO DID? WE DID...People are so immature that they dont want to take responibility for their actions but instead blaim others, society, or even God.
GOD DIDNT CREATE EVIL ALONE (ill explain later), EVEN IN GENESIS GOD SAYS "AND IT WAS GOOD". We created evil, our judgment is evil, our independence is evil. Take sofa for example, sofa is not evil, but the love and obsession of sofa is evil, it is a sin called "idolatry" you are idlozing a material thing. "Where there is no law there is no sin" this explains why people who never heard of the gospel are spared (because their ignorance made them duMB), and kids who doesnt have enough intelligence for good judgment. Again God didnt create the devil in itself (ill exlain later), he created angels to serve him with freewill, now lucifer the name of an angel betrayed God, because of that he is "evil" but God didnt made him that way, Lucifer's judgment made himself "evil". So in a way, God is responsible for evil, but God didnt create evil, Get it? Just as you had sex with prostitution because u want to, but society allowed u to do that (unless there is a law which says u shouldnt) in allowing so, the society became responisble, so in a way u can say society made me have sex with prostitutes because it allowed you to do so, though its your act but society is responsible as well.
God is so good, THAT HE GAVE SOLUTIONS TO EVERY PROBLEMS WE GIVE OURSELVES. God gave repentance, God sent Jesus in atonement for your sins. God gave the church. God gave the prophets, God is good, GOD DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT HE DID BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU. BUT THEN AGAIN IT IS FOR YOU TO ACCEPT OR REJECT, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT FIRST, YOUR FREE, GOD CANNOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU.
Now you might say "What then is the point of praying for healing if God cannot take our freewill away?".
Thats why when people are healed from their sickness, if blind ppeople can see, it is not God healing them directly without their permision, IT IS THEIR FAITH THAT HEALED THEM. When there was a woman who was bleeding for many years, she said to herself "If only I can touch his cloak, then i would be healed", she pushed her way in the crowd by hundreds, and finally touched Jesus, jesus then said "Who touched me?" apostles said "Lord why do u ask, there are many ppl here touching u" Jesus then said "I feel my power left me" and the woman cried out "It was me my Lord!!" Jesus then said "WOMAN, YOUR FAITH HAS HEALED YOU".
God is everywhere, energy is everywhere, just as air is everywhere, u just have to have lungs to breathe & take air within you, just as you just have to have faith to take God within you.
Jesus said "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, yoou can tell the mountain to move there and there and it will go".
When a roman pagan (like non christian today) approached Jesus, he said "Lord I am not worthy to have u under my roof, for i have soldiers under my commmand, etc." in short he was asking Jesus to heal his sick daughter (or servant cant rremember) and Jesus then said to the apostles "TRULY I HAVE NOT SEEN A MAN WHO HAVE GREATER FAITH THAN HE IN JERUSALEM", then he said to the roman pagan "GO ON HOME, YOUR FAITH HAS HEALED YOUR DAUGHTER".
So this tells us u dont have to be a christian to have faith but u can be pagan as well.
There are even scientific evidence on faith. There are investigations of paranormal where individual if they use the power of their mind, they can bend metals, spoons, and forks. There are even people who can eat nails, razor sharp metals, glassesand not get hurt. There are people in thailand who can walk on fire for 2 minutes, unlike pathetic skeptics trying to prove them wrong by demo, they can only walk on fire in about 20 seconds.
There is also what they call "PLACEBO", when peoples cancer are healed, christians and non christians alike (although majority of those who testified having healed r mostly christians) WHICH BY THE WAY IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT IT OCCURS, BUT SCIENTIFICALLY CANNOT BE EXPLAINED, IT REMAINS A MYSTERY.
Again to remind your aligator brain, God didnt create you to be good, He didnt create you to be evil as well, BUT HE CREATED YOU TO BE FREE. WHETHER YOU BECOME GOOD, OR YOU BECOME BAD, THATS ON YOU..THOUGH GOD DOES WANT YOU TO BE GOOD. IF YOU BECOME GOOD, GOD KNOWS THAT ALREADY, IF YOU BECOME BAD, GOD KNOWS THAT AS WELL, BUT THAT IS ALL ON YOU! NOT ON GOD! AGAIN GOD CREATED FREEWILL, AND FROM FREEWILL COMES FORTH EVIL AND GOOD, NOT JUST EVIL ALONE, BUT GOOD AS WELL. SO DONT SAY "GOD CREATED EVIL" GET THIS STRAIGHT AND DONT TAKE THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT, THE PROPER WAY TO SAY IT IS "GOD CREATED GOOD AND EVIL" AND YOU CHOOSE YUR DESTINY...
GOD IS ALL KNOWING. THE BIBLE SAYS "I KNOW YOU BEFORE YOU CAME TO BE". We are written in the book of life, God already knows before you were born whether you go to heaven or not.. Your days are counted and your life is already known. Just as if I plant a seed, I know in the future it will bear fruit, but if planted on soil with no moisture, it will not bear fruit, not that Im a psychic but its pure knowledge.
God is all knowing, it is silly to claim psychics can predict the future (spirits of the dead) but God cant.
Wheres my proof that God is all knowing?
In the old testament Jesus was even prophesied. But since u dont believe the bible as historical, then lets leave that out. Jesus prophesied the 12 apostles to multiply and that ALL THE CORNERS OF THE EARTH WILL HEAR OF HIS NAME. Now look today, there is not one country I know that have no christian that lives in it, even Korea or china have christians!! How then did the bible know of these? Super luck? or chance?
In the bok of Genesis, it is written in the law of Moses ""That whoever touches a dead corpse or anything unclean must wash their hands before meals" later on this became a tradition. If we followed by this rules, 100 of yrs later, the great plagues of europe will not have occured, Moses discovered germs before Pasteur did. How then did the bible know of these? Super luck? or chance?
In the book of Genesis, God also spoke to Abraham "Abraham, look at the stars, see if you can count them".
Now Greeks attempted to name stars, in fact when I was younger, I tried counting stars at night, I estimated that there are about maybe over 1,000 stars out there. But now science PROVED THAT STARS ARE INCALCULABLE THROUGH GIANT TELESCOPES! FOR SPACE HAVE NO LIMITS!! How then did the bible know of these? Super luck? or chance?
In the book of Genesis, it was written "In the beggining, there was waters above the waters, and reflections above reflections, etc." Now science once again proved this to be a fact through the giant telescope considering there are chunks after chunks of water in space! They have no telescopes then, How then did the bible know of these? Super luck? or chance?
In summary, bottom line is God is ALL KNOWING AND ALL GOOD. U just need a brain and a good judgment to understand truths (wisdom).
SO WHAT CAN WE DO SINCE GOD CANNOT STOP YOU AND I FROOM D0ING EVIL? WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT?
HAVE FAITH....
